Bat Lantern and Super-Lantern are the best, though.
Especially after Flashing Lantern was made R-18...

To be fair, Cos had the body to pull it off. Flashing Lantern didn't.

Bat-flash Jr.: Well, I realized that criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot... and most of them are afraid of my incredible amount of bat-themed body piercings and frightening tattoos!

I remember Animal Man having Sunshine Superman and Magic Lantern as a hippy themed JLA from another universe. The more pointlessly brutal and poorly plotted DC became, the more I wanted to read about those guys.

Was that the last reboot, or the one before that? I need a scorecard to keep track.
I must have missed that, because it's been ages since I've seen something happy from DC.

It was Crisis 1.5, a reboot of Animal Man.

Ah,I think I know that. Thanks. Was that the one where he realized he was just a comic book character?

Somewhere along that run anyway.

It has some interesting issues, but runs out of steam later on as is often the case with the writer, or rather, The Writer.

Sadly, writing takes a lot out of oneself.

That would be quite a super power.

But it would get you rejected from the Legion for being an impractical power.

But it would have been quite the power centuries ago, when ballpens weren't common yet!

There was a background character in the Baxter run, who looked to be made out of an Ink like substance. I made a note of it for something in Bits.

One of Lori Morning's H-Dial identities was called Ink, and was a humanoid made of sticky ink.

A lot of heroes start with a gadget, before it is mysteriously integrated into themselves. Would Lori have got into the Legion if she could manifest powers that might be tailored for a situation. Or would they have been considered to be too unreliable?

I was comparing Nemesis Kid because he had powers that manifested themselves based on the situation. Wasn't the point of thothy's question, would Lori have made it in if her powers were internalized but situational?

If I am not mistaken, later posts do not have to be totally on point, but only related to the previous 2-3 posts. So, I could respond to a post about Nemesis Kid with a post about the Roman god Nemesis.

Nemesis Lad's powers were definitely going to get him out of all (but one) situation. But I wasn't sure if Lori's were always that useful.
